Prince Bamidele Bajowa

is a proud descendant of the Royal House of Lubokun Dynasty in Igbotako, Osooro, Ondo State, Nigeria. From an early age, he developed a deep connection to Yoruba traditions, including drumming, dancing, folk music, and spiritual practices honoring Orishas like Ifa, Babaji, Shango, Ogun, Oshun and Egungun.

Prince Bamidele Bajowa is a Yoruba cultural ambassador, traditional musician, Babaláwo (Ifá priest), educator, and community leader dedicated to preserving and promoting the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Yoruba people. Originally from the Osooro region of Ondo State, Nigeria, he has spent many years sharing Yoruba traditions through music, lectures, cultural workshops, and community development initiatives in Nigeria and internationally.

As a custodian of Yoruba heritage, Prince Bajowa teaches the philosophy of Ifá, ancestral traditions, Egúngún culture, and Indigenous African spirituality. His work emphasizes cultural education, ethical leadership, environmental stewardship, youth empowerment, and the preservation of traditional knowledge for future generations.

Prince Bajowa is also a recording artist whose music blends traditional Yoruba rhythms, chants, and sacred percussion—including Sàkárà, Gángan, and Bàtá drums—to celebrate Yoruba identity and spirituality. His recordings have been released through platforms including ReverbNation.

Beyond the arts, he has contributed to community and cultural initiatives in Canada, including participating in cultural and traditional ceremonies and supporting projects that celebrate African heritage. He has also been acknowledged by the City of Toronto for providing a traditional African blessing during community engagement related to anti-Black racism initiatives.

Prince Bajowa’s long-term vision includes strengthening cultural connections between Nigeria and the African diaspora through heritage education, traditional performances, cultural tourism, import and export of traditional materials, and the development of community-based enterprises that create opportunities for youth while preserving Yoruba customs and values.
